The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 246: Juventus bounce the Bentegodi boogeyman

Thiago Motta’s second official match as Juventus manager ended up being a lot like the first, with a 3-0 scoreline and a strong overall performance after things kicked into gear paving the way for more early-season success. On Episode 246 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast we discuss: Takeaways from the win over Hellas Verona — including how the midfield partnership (especially Manuel Locatelli) looked good once again, how Nicolo Savona certainly announced his arrival in his first-ever start with the Juventus senior team, and how damn well Bremer has looked to open the season in a four-man backline. How Juventus has looked in the first two weeks of the season has been ... refreshing! How things changed for Motta and Juventus once things kicked into gear against Hellas Verona. Just because we’re two matches into the season doesn’t mean there isn’t other stuff going on — there’s still a few short days left in the summer transfer window and there’s still some major business to close on. How do we. see the new signings and soon-to-be signing(s) fit into things with Juventus playing so well to start the new season. Twitter questions — including if Federico Gatti is now one of the best Juventus captains ever, who has impressed the most during the first two matchdays of the season, if there has been anything that’s overly concerning about the Juventus’ first two performances, and who should actually sit when the new signings arrive despite everyone playing so well.
